MUNEROY AND ANNFIELD: cill course at 1st floor. Paired entrance doors at ground floor centre bays with bracketted cornices above. 4-light, 2-storey semicircular bow windows in outer bays with sloping cills and lintel course at ground floor. Blank coursed rubble NW elevation.
REAR ELEVATION: near-symmetrical 5-bay elevation with 2 windows closely spaced at ground floor centre bay, with flanking single storey piend-roofed wings. Blank bay at 1st floor centre.
BENROY: 2-bay principal front with eaves course, entrance door to outer left, and Tripartite window to right. Blank gabled end to SE.
Modern glazing at Muneroy. Plate glass timber sash and case at principal front of Annfield with 4-pane timber sash and case windows to rear. 4-pane timber sash and case windows with plate glass sidelights at Benroy. 4-panel, 2-leaf timber entrance doors at Muneroy and Annfield, panelled inner door to latter with etched glass upper and rectangular fanlight above. Grey slate principal roof, bellcast with lead platform at centre, curved projections over bow windows, overhanging eaves with timber soffit and profiled cast-iron gutters. Piend-roof, canted slate-hung timber dormers flanking wallhead stack at rear pitch. Grey slate roof to Benroy; large, slightly canted, piend-roofed, slate-hung timber dormer at right of principal pitch with 4-pane timber sash and case window, plate glass sidelights and wrought-iron finial at apex, matching dormer to rear pitch. Small, barrel-vaulted lead covered dormer with modern glazing at left and profiled gutter at eaves. Rubble wallhead stacks with ashlar dressings, copes, and circular cans centring side and rear elevations of Muneroy and Annfield. Matching stack at apex of S gable (Benroy) with ashlar skews.
BOUNDARY WALLS: random rubble dwarf wall with ashlar cope to Argyll Street. Decorative cast-iron gates posts, original railings removed. Battered random rubble wall, adjoining to right of Benroy with vertically-boarded timber door, and bordering N side of New Quay Street.
Statement of Special Interest
This is a building of good quality construction. Loss of the original windows at Muneroy has removed some of the building?s original character, and its appearance would benefit considerably from reinstatement of finials cresting the bows, however this remains a building with many details intact. It is particularly notable for the rubble wall, adjoining to the S, turning the corner from Argyll Street into New Quay Street.

About Listed Buildings
Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.
We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.
Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.
We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)
Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.
These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.
The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.
While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.
If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.
Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
